Winsor Park Estate Youth Arts Course report October July

Winsor Park Estate Youth Arts Course report October 2007 - July 2008 Free Form Arts Trust INTRODUCTION Free Form’s role is to facilitate the youth focused consultation which follows on from the Estates based consultation which has been carried out with the older generations. Consultation results have identified issues for immediate attention in the form of hierarchical options, with an ongoing action plan for the future which will be discussed bi-monthly with the residents. Free Forms work with the young people may address some of these ongoing issues. Free Form’s role matches this ongoing consultation process and lengthens the exposure of this period of perceived change to roughly two years. Free Form’s project garners information from young people whom also head up events based consultation with residents of all ages and involves other young people in workshops to gather design inspiration for physical changes. Existing youth activities at the community centre take place every evening during term time and all day in half term. The young people attend activities including sports, workshops and street outreach work. Issues: Lack of full engagement from young people living in parts of the estate further away from the community centre, which could possibly form the foundation of addressing estate coherence through physical design implementation Young people attending care centre on estate are keen to have positive activities to be involved in, and should be especially encouraged to involve themselves in the project as it could be useful for their ongoing ETE. Participant ages: The project is open to young people ranging from 11 – 25yrs of age. Free Form suggests that the core group is biased toward the 17 – 25yr old end of the spectrum and affix accreditation accordingly. This matches with the idea of the project group becoming a design team within which, roles and responsibilities will be assigned as personal strengths and interests come to the fore through the preliminary workshops. Once young people have expressed an interest in being involved, they ought to agree to a certain level of attendance and conduct, especially where accreditation goals are involved. The 11 – 16yr olds will input into the design process at certain evening workshops and half term events proposed, developed and run by the older group to gather design inspiration through creative workshops and events. Launch Workshops: These workshops were developed as a creative way to engage young people and to shape the longer course to be run by Free Form. OBJECTIVES Site walkabout to identify areas for improvement, problem areas, what is causing the problem [these may be social or physical issues] and how to tackle them appropriately through design and community involvement. A prolonged workshop process to organise the group as a team whom, with the support of Free Form facilitators and project managers will develop the design process, how to go about delivering the project on time and on budget with outlined dates and sessions for youth – led community events which will act as community consultations to celebrate the process of change and the young peoples’ contribution as well as develop designs with other young people not in the core design group. Young people will be involved in all aspects of the project after sketch design stage including releasing the design options through the bi-monthly residents’ meeting, to see where priorities can be incorporated into the design solutions, planning meeting, fabrication and installation phases so that their involvement doesn’t just finish once the design stage is over. This final aspect will earn the young people a comprehensive insight in to project management and the realities and complexities of realising their parameters, being flexible enough with their work to incorporate the ‘must haves’ whilst still achieving the appropriate design solutions the original outlined issues. - - - PROJECT OUTLINE Half Term Workshops - The Half Term Workshop programme Monday 18th February – Friday 22nd February 2008 during the day at Winsor Park Youth Club. The workshops investigated design proposals to tackle issues raised in previous consultation workshops through a range of creative techniques including sound, video, 3D design, recycled materials workshops and site specific temporary art works. The brief was kept loose to allow improvisation and give the young people some autonomy as to the direction of their creativity. Planning workshops - Initial workshops [3 x no. evening workshops, possibly one per week prior to Feb 18th – 22nd half term workshops] Mapping and planning workshops with Stephen Shiell and Livvy Fink at Winsor Park Youth Club [TBC with Angela McSweene.] Exhibition - Exhibition of planning workshop results, including images, artwork, cited problem areas, ideas and proposed solutions. DVD - Recommendation to compile recording of workshops, talking heads and video diary as a DVD of creative youth consultation workshops as a record of the creative process and to document the ideas brought to the fore through the artwork. Structured workshop Course - Free Form will develop and programme the structured time course for young people not attending school; this will be an accredited course of weekly workshops carried out by Stephen Shiell and Livvy Fink, with other visiting artists. The overall theme of the course is to develop and implement a feasibility study for Estate improvements, detailed design proposals, plans, costs and schedules. All aspects of the course will be in collaboration with young people aged between 16 – 25 yrs and will include community events, trips to sites of appropriate interest, workshops in the school lead by the young people with support from Free Form Artists. Designs will be exhibited. Detail Design - Design Proposals will be submitted in the form of and design dossier and presentation to involved parties. Installation - Designs will then be implemented on site RECYCLED ROBOTS Workshops MAPPING WORKSHOPS Overview These workshops aimed to find out how young people use the area, how they feel about it and what their hopes for the future of the area would be. Using maps, photography and sound recording, created a portrait of the participants’ responses to their area. Workshop 1: Personal stories This workshop focused on getting to know the young people and their area through individual work on maps and sound recording. Activities: - each participant was given a map of the area and using coloured sticky spots, marked the map according to key themes, such as; where they feel safe/unsafe, good memories/ bad memories, places they’d like to change, places they like etc - each participant filled out written form answering questions about their area - sound recordings were made of young people’s thoughts on the area INTERVIEWS Workshop 2: Group map This workshop aimed to work as a group on a large map, to represent overall responses to the area, followed by a walk about with cameras. Activities: - based on the smaller maps, participants worked as a group to transfer their spots onto a large map, showing density of concerns and feelings - each participant added at least 3 post-it notes to the large map, telling a particular memory or feeling they have about a place, to create a story about the area - walkabout with cameras to record some of the places mentioned through the mapping exercises- particularly ones they would like to change Workshop 3: Ideal area Activities - participants were given small printed out copies of their photos, and used these to stick on the map - magazines, newspapers, and black & photocopies of the photos taken were provided as well as felt-tips, letter stencils and scissors and glue and a large piece of paper to work on - using these materials, participants worked in groups of 3/4 to make a re-imagined mood board for their ideal area, along with text to describe things they would like to see there PROJECT OUTLINE HALF TERM WORKSHOPS @ WINDSOR PARK YOUTH CLUB AIMS: - To consult and work with young people and the wider community at the club on ways of improving their local area using creative workshops To explore how change can happen in their area and allow them to play an active role in creating temporary and imaginary change To use a range of media and art-forms e.g. digital photography, film-making, music technology and creative 3-d media to engage the widest possible group with a variety of approaches and methods To identify options for potential design proposals with regard to their area so they are involved and informed in the decision-making process WORKSHOP BREAKDOWN: 1. Film-making & editing (3 days): young people (ages 13+) worked with a film-maker for 3 days to create a short film about how they, and the wider community, feel about their area, how they would like to improve it and what their hopes are for its future. They also got to film the activities taking place during half term at the youth club and interview participants to find out what they got out of taking part. On the third day there was a live editing workshop using the footage collected in the previous days. Digital photography (3 days): young people worked with a photographer to collect images of their local area, focussing on areas they liked and disliked and would like to change. Participants had their own cameras and were encouraged to see their area in a different light, to create a collection of images that show a personal response to their environment. The photos were then edited to choose the best ones and were compiled as an accompaniment to the sound recordings. Sound recording and music technology (3 days): young people worked with a musician to collect field recordings in their environment using mini-disks and microphones. They also recorded their feelings about the area to create a collection of sound bites about their responses to change. The participants then worked with music technology software to edit the recordings to create a soundscape of the area, which will be played back at the club. Stixx recycled paper technology (1 day): children of all ages joined in this drop-in fun and creative workshop enabling children to make paper ‘sticks’ from old newspapers using a hand cranked rolling machine and wire the paper sticks into sculptural forms, huge towers, windmills, monumental figures, and architectural installations Willow sculpture (1 day): children learned how to make sculptures, structures and architectural forms eg domes, tunnels and walls using willow wivvies and tissue paper Performance with musical instruments from junk (1 day): a musician lead a percussion jam using instruments made from junk;Year 6 pupils from Gallion School who participated in workshops during term time were invited to join in with their instruments, however there was also an opportunities for people to make their own instruments from recycled materials on the day so they couldjoin in too Creating displays and installations of work (2 days): (A) Creating an installation within the club of the people from recycled materials (made by Year 4 pupils at Gallion School), meanwhile other visitors to the club had the opportunity to create their own people and add them to the display (B) Creating a visual map of the Thames and surrounding areas out of recycled materials and adding to it the objects pupils from Year 4 collected. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Date Mon 18th Feb Tues 19th Feb Activities Photography Map of Thames Film-making Photography Sound recording Display of recycled people Film-making Sound recording Willow workshop Editing workshop Sound editing Stixx sculpture workshop Junk instrument performance (afternoon) Photography display Projection of film?

They showed us the area - the rubbish and broken glass but also explained why they liked their area even so. Tuesday: - with the 5- 13 age group we ran a creative workshop making figures form waste materials, which was well attended and the young people from Gallion School came along and brought other family members. - The 12+ group worked on more photography, exploring some of the same areas as well as documenting the workshops and where they play around the estate - A group of children worked with the sound artist, collecting information from each other as well as other restate residents through interviews, and doing sound recordings of the area - The filmmaker worked with a range of young people, training them to use the equipment and conducting interviews with each other as well as filming life in and around the estate. Tuesday evening (youth club): we met the youth workers and some of the young people, and worked on making maps of the area showing where people felt safe, which parts they want to improve and carried out some interviews on camera, for which, the young people devised their own questions. Wednesday: - with the 5- 13 age group we ran a creative willow workshop, making sculptural forms using willow, acetates and tissue paper to make hanging objects, and also worked with a small group who had been quite disruptive earlier on to make a large art work which they were very proud of - one group went on a field trip with the sound artist and the photographer, recording the DLR station and their walkabout; the photographer also worked with the children to edit and select the best images that would compliment the sound piece as well as making postcards of Beckton, which could be used as publicity for the next phase of the course - the film workshop continued to focus on the 13+ group, speaking to a range of young people and other residents, whom we met around the area Wednesday: evening (youth club) - we continued with the mapping, making a bigger, combined map showing everyone’s individual responses on one map and adding post-it notes of further ideas. The young people also coordinated the filming and interviewing of each other and the youth workers Thursday: - with the 5- 13 age group we ran a ‘Stixx’ paper technology workshop, making sculptural forms using rolled up pieces of newspaper; again this was well attended and very lively throughout - the filmmaker worked closely with a group of four 14yr old girls, going on a walkabout of the area in which they conducted vox pops with members of the public around Cyprus Park, the Asda ,the DLR and other parts of the estate - the sound artists started editing the recordings to make a soundscape of Beckton compiled from the interviews and field recordings Thursday evening (youth club) - we spent time getting to know the young people, playing games with them and doing more filming- it was a very relaxed atmosphere and was good to spend time as familiar faces enjoying time with the young people Friday: - with the 5- 13 age group made junk instruments such as drums and saxophones, which was also attended by older youths; this workshop went very well and ended with a performance of the ‘Windsor Park Junk Orchestra’ , run by the sound artists- it was a very good ending to the week - the performance was recorded and will be part of the soundscape workshops with Gallions School - recycling theme Youth - led consultation around the estate Willow three dimensional design Mapping workshop Vox pops and DVD production WORKSHOPS The junk orchestra Outcomes: we engaged with a wide group of young people and children, as well as the key workers at the Community Centre and Youth Club through the workshops we introduced the young people to a range of media which meant there was something for everyone to do as a means of exploring and explaining their area we created maps of the area and got people thinking about how they would like to change it as well as starting off a dialogue about change we created a film, which will is a snapshot of how local residents- especially young residents, feel about their area we established areas of focus which were felt needed improvement or would be of benefit to the area , such as the football pitch, a play area for younger children, a safe space for different age groups to play without tensions between groups, as well as safer roads, were all identified as needing attention many people felt there was more need for security cameras and community police officers as they didn’t feel safe on the streets; violence and gang fights were mentioned by many residents as distinct problems facing the area we discovered that even though there was a youth club, many young people did not want to attend as they had a bad impression of it, meaning there are many different groups to be aware of, with conflicting ideas about how the area could improve - Conclusion What worked well: the community centre and youth club staff were very friendly and helpful once young people had been befriended they were well engaged in the film-making and sound recording workshops. They focussed and really enjoyed it the photography workshops were successful and generated a huge amount of fantastic images which the participants enjoying seeing on the computer afterwards Every day we had young people return as they had enjoyed themselves the previous day, as such, the numbers multiplied as the week went on getting to know the young people in the area was successful, especially as they had not met us before we created a space and opportunities for dialogue about what could change in the area we provided a space for some of the more lively children to play and engage indoors-whereas they had been playing by smashing things up outside; they also met new children and made friends they wouldn’t have done otherwise What didn’t work so well: the mapping of the Thames was really compromised by a lack of communication between the school and the youth club, the same could be said for the recycled figures workshop, although both worked well as stand –alone exercises the programme was not adequately advertised and there was inadequate outreach, especially amongst the 13-19 age group; this however was overcome by the artists taking the activity outside the youth club onto the streets to engage with the young people in the environments where they naturally hang out numbers were lower than they could have been for the 13+ group which would have been greater given adequate publicity the youth club sessions were less well attended as it was half term there were some very disruptive children present throughout the week’s 5-13 age group workshops and as there was no other support (e.g. play workers) this had a negative effect on some of the other children’s desire to attend there were fights 2 nights in a row between gangs from Gallions Reach and Cyprus, which the children spoke about saying it scared them residents of all age groups were concerned that in the past, they had been promised things for the area, and hadn’t seen it delivered, especially about the football pitch - Community Event COMMUNITY EVENT The event was a part of a wider community event to deal with the issue of rubbish and refuse which had built up on the estate. Citing the better neighbourhoods’ consultation as the basis of a need to make people more ware of refuse collection and recycyling on the estate, Free Form represented some of the work which had been done with the school in creative recycling workshops as well a DVD of the entire creative youth consultation thus far. After the cavalcade had processed through the estate, Free Form provided some food and had a showing of the DVD created throughout the workshops with young people. The showing was well attended by various interested parties and partners with an interest in Winsor Park Estate, as well as residents and visitors. DVD The DVD showing was a unique insight into the reactions of people whom weren’t involved in it’s creation to the opinions of the young people who were. Our findings were both corroborated and challenged, and we came away with another level of understanding which one can only find when opinions are raised and challenged. This was especially true of residents whom challenged the opinions of those who access the facilities on the estate as well as those who have a certain view of the estate not shared by young people. The DVD was well received and evrybody took away a new angle on the state of young peoples’ perceptions and felt good to hear the voice of the youth on the estate. The showing was followed by a throrough question and answer session, peopled mainly by representatives from East Potential unfamiliar with the project, other community stakeholoders and residents, and was a great opportunity to raise awareness of the progression of the course and gain a fuller understanding of our motives, across the board. 2008 youth arts course - summer holidays 2008 2008 YOUTH ARTS COURSE The youth arts course will be the development of a core group of young designers, supported by Free Form’s project managers and artists, to work towards creating designs and ideas for physical improvements on Winsor Park. BETTER NOIGHBOURHOODS CONSULTATION East Thames carried out a full consultation with estate residents to find out what issues affected them, the results provided the basis for and were cross referenced with young people during our art consultation. EstateResident’s priorities Litter, vandalism, low level of perceived involvement in managerial decisions, leisure facilities, drugs, low level of provision for children and young people including play, localised late night disturbance around Agora space area, low employment opportunities. Residents project priorities 1 – Litter bins 2 – Newark Knok – re-design and/or improvement of children’s play facility – perceived anti-social behaviour 3 – Newark Knok and Tunnan Leys – re-design and/or improvement of park 4 – Estate signs and routes 5 – Rubbish store Other suggested improvements 6 – Memorial for local youths who died should be incorporated into the physical changes Content The workshops will be designed as a youth consultation, which draw issues and suggested improvements out of the young people through the design process. The workshops will be introduced through the findings of the better neighbourhoods consultation and discussed as often the perceived problems of adults differ from those of young people. In this case, it is the young people’s role to understand what the causes of perceived problems are and through investigating these problems, design a solution which pleases the interests of adults, young people and children of the estate, thus producing ideas to suit all residents. The young people will use the suggested improvements as a starting point for their project, working out where the issues lie and some quick ideas of how they might be addressed. They will also be shown examples of similar projects before which have solved such issues. Free Form is keen that the young people see themselves as the leaders of this project and as such the workshops will be geared around gleaning information and anecdotes as to the everyday environment on the estate. People’s movements and interactions, COURSE PROSPECTUS Introduction Are you a young person between 16 and 25 years of age? Free Form, in partnership with East Thames Housing, and Deutsche Bank, are developing a youth arts course on Winsor Park Estate, taking place from May - December 2008. This course is free to attend, accredited and open to all young residents in the Winsor Park Area. The course will be your opportunity to make a permanent change on Winsor Park Estate, as we have been funded by Deutsche Bank to improve an area of the estate. On the course we will investigate the estate, find out what needs improving and what kind of improvements are necessary. We will do this in a number of ways which will include visits, music, video, 3D design and architecture. Youth Arts Course 2008 The course will start with an investigation into the estate, researching the consultation artwork we have already done with young people from the estate, to get an idea of young people’s perspectives of the estate and the issues which really affect them. Using this information as the basis of our investigation, we will explore various sites on the estate and start to create ideas of how to transform them into safe, usable, fun places to hang out. We will then work as a group to devise our own methods of working. Some of you may wish to work alone or in groups to explore design ideas for certain sites. We will be able to investigate these sites in a number of ways, with full support from industry professionals in the mediums you feel most comfortable with. For instance, some of you may wish to explore a site with music, developing music and lyrics about the site as it is, what goes on there, who uses it etc. and then develop ideas for change through the music and create a video which shows the site changing. Others may wish to explore the area using video and light projections or sound pieces that are triggered when you enter the space. Others may wish to create sculptural artworks or play features or even design a new landscape using architectural methods. This is your estate, and Free Form will help you to develop and deliver ideas which will then be made into reality next year. If you are interested in being involved in improving the physical future of your estate, and gaining qualifications, call Joel on 07738415976 or email me at joel@freeform.org.uk SUMMER WORKSHOP TIMETABLE 14.07.08 1 minute films (1)using mobile phones and professional camera equipment to make a series of very short films this workshop will also act as an intro to the project and ice breaker Erica Scourti 17.07.08 1 minute films (2)editing the footage filmed during session 1 Erica Scourti 23.07.08 Poetry workshop (1)making songlines and text based mappings of Winsor Park focusing on young people’s experience and self expression Ross Sutherland 24.07.08 Poetry workshop (2)continuing and finishing activities from session 1 Ross Sutherland 30.07.08 Digital photographyGPS mapping workshop: using digital cameras to explore the area and the young people’s sense of identity and create a Googlemap of the area with these photos Douglas Nicholson 31.07.08 Digital photography (2)using photography to interpret and place the text work created during the poetry workshops Douglas Nicholson 06.08.08 Sculpture workshop (1)using the photographs taken during the previous week’s session as a basis for making small sculptures which explore how to create 3-dimesional objects from photos.

All artists present NEXT PHASE Once the summer course is over, designs will be reviewed and worked up into a set of proposals by Free Form Artists in collaboration with the young people involved in the project. Our meetings will be ocused around the most important areas if the design development process eg: - Sketch proposals [october 08] - Design presentation [october 08] - Final design development [november 08] - Publicity and marketing [novemeber 08] - Technical design specification [november - december 08] - Planning review [december 08 - february 09] - fabrication [february 09] - Installation [february - march 09] - Launch opening and press [march 09] Free Form intends to involve young people in all aspects of these stages as part of their ongoing training so that they can race the development of the fruition of this piece of work, from their innate and researched knowledge of the area, to the final piece. This progression will be documented as such and will be part of their portfolio for pursuing careers and further education. Free Form and East Thames Housing are in talks with the Docklands Light Railway and Modus Operandi Art Consultants to discuss the opportunity of creating artworks which link the Beckton DLR station to the local area. The brief for selecting approriate artists to work collaboratively with the existing art project and community is in the process of being drawn up and Free Form will be on the selction comittee for artists. This is a fantstic opportunity for the Beckton area and will, if successful pinpoint the efforts of the residents of the estate and become an icon for the future of Beckton. Docklands Light Railway have agreed to put up funding for a collaborative art workj to the sum of £75,000. COURSE LAUNCH EVENT The launch event took place on the 6th of August and was an opportunity for everyone to come along and enjoy a fun community day where they could sample some of the activities they could be a part of on the course proper, sign up for the course and be a part of the mounitng design ideas being developed for the final design proposals. The day was very well attended and offered creative activities including live music production, t-shirt screen printing, 3D space design and hanna design. There was no age restriction on atendees and as such, parents and siblings were able to come and find out more about the project and how it would affect them as well as be an opportunity for the young people in their families. COURSE LAUNCH EVENT There were activities biased for children but also older young people, whom were keen to join in, especially with the music production, lyric writing and printing workshops, this gave us an opportunity to get them intereted in the course whcih started the same evening, which mainly uses music and site specific lyric and video prduction to create a view of Winsor Park Estate as it exists and how it might change for the better in the near future. COURSE LAUNCH EVENT Young people worked with professional musicians and artists to record songs bout the area which were developed in lyric writing sessions, artists also ventured out into the estate to interview people to capture thoughts and aspirations to be used within sound and art pieces. COURSE LAUNCH EVENT Joel Parkes Shadow Artistic Director Free Form Making artwork for the environment Hothouse 274 Richmond Road London Fields E8 3QW T 020 7241 7480 F 020 7249 8499 M 07738 415 976 joel@freeform.org.uk www.freeform.org.uk
